TLX Type S w/Tein springs & Y spoke wheels
Greetings AllJust wanted to start sharing updates with the car so far. Had it about a month now and ordered just a few of the immediate items to get it dialed in.

Very nice and even drop. Makes the Type-S look even meaner.

They threw it on the alignment rack at the dealership. Turned out to be really needed with the toe that I had before I had it lowered.

The springs only lower about an inch, give or take .1. So there isn't any need to adjust any of the sensors.

Looks clean, nicely done! I'll probably do the same once the warranty drops off.

Did you happen to measure how much the springs actually lower the car.

They are not "ride height" sensors...but shock stiffness adjustements....so won't actually raise or lower the car. So won't be affected in that case.

Sorry. Honda call them Stroke Sensors. Besides I never said they controlled ride height. Ride height sensors don't actually control the ride height they measure the height of the corner of the car.

Honda Stroke sensors are used to measure brake pedal position.
